I've implemented web systems with hash&salt/bcrypt password systems.

I'm pretty sure i could find a way to do it in the PM codebase. But that would require giving me access to an "offline" dev copy with complete code and database access to do many test runs, prefereably a recent database dump with all the passwords reset to random strings. So this is rather unlikely to ever happen.

In my opinion, a LOT of the dev backlog on PerlMonks stems from the fact that the ONLY system to develop new features is the live system...
